Newsarama Is Offering Ron Marz/Ryan Sook's Full MAGDALENA Story for FREE!

Yesterday, Newsarama spoke with writer Ron Marz about the new ongoing Magdalena series from Top Cow. The descendant of Christ isn't quite playing nice with her elders this time around, though.

During, the interview, they came across this:

Nrama: Previous to this you did a short story about Magdalena in First Born: Aftermath which showed Patience coming to grips with her decision to leave the Catholic Church. That was a good transition point -- and great art by Ryan Sook no less. Any chance to see that story reprinted to get people in the zone for this?

Marz: That's one of my favorite stories from my career, thanks to Ryan's insanely great art on it. I want to get that story in front of as many people as possible, since it really sets the tone for the series. Hopefully we can get it online or find some other way to release it widely.

Well, Ron, and Fans, you ask, and we answer. Here it is, Ron Marz and Ryan Sook's entire story, presented here to all of you for free.
